AETV presents our latest edition of Snapshots, where we visit with middle school students at Swanson who are celebrating a year of reading as part of the Swanson Writers Project. Students met with special guest authors Madelyn Rosenberg and Wendy Wan-Long Shang and discussed the authors’ latest title, This is Just a Test. They asked questions of the authors about the book’s unique context, which focused on growing up in the 1980s. The authors showed students how to use improvisational techniques to create their own written works. See how humor combines with collaborative activities to inspire the next generation of authors at APS! Learn more about the Swanson Writers Project on the website.
